Jewel

The doorway frames you
Picture perfect silhouette
A blue sky of regret
Enough to hang you
Your legs seem to tremble
At least I imagine that they do
Then again, it's probably easy for you

But please, don't open your mouth, my dear
I can breathe all the signs
I can take it from here
There's no need to explain
It's perfectly clear

Yellow wall paperpeels
Form a strange halo around your head
It's funny how I notice these stupid things instead
You say something awkward
But I wish that you wouldn't
A whole life of you wish you could's,
But just couldn'ts

Please, don't open your mouth, my dear
I can breathe all the signs
I can take it from here
There's no need to explain
It's perfectly clear

So I try not to think too much
It'd only just makes me bad
I spent half my life loving you
Think of all the love that I could've had

Five years worth of kisses are packed in your bags
A tiny moment fits all the big things we ever had
And I can't quite pinpoint what I left and what for
Love always steps lightly away from the door

Please, don't open your mouth, my dear
I can breathe all the signs
I can take it from here
There's no need to explain
There's no need to explain
It's perfectly clear
